"My name is Kevin Matras and I am the Executive Vice President of Zacks.com. That makes me responsible for all of our popular and highly acclaimed portfolio recommendation services.

@MikeM : "But again, for me this is my version of gambling which I do for enjoyment and makes up less than 3% of total. "
You can't tell me you don't have a buck or two on the Bills !?

@hank : I'll restate my comment. Is it time to leave the market & invest elsewhere. Is it possible Mr. Market will take more than a break & & wallow for a number of years in a quagmire ? Until the easy money flows no more & the Fed …
A thought to hash over. If & when the holders & nibblers get back to even will you cash out & go to something with less risk ? I've started to buy a few CD's, buy just maybe it's time to do some more nibbling. ???
"I am on target... I use Merriman's 60/40 index portfolio as a benchmark. Presently doing about 3% better than it has."
As of the end of June -17.27 % return for 60/40 Merriman's ! Par for the course.

@msf : Are the investors ahead of the "game" due to the fact that Mr. Market took a dump after the first of the year. After paying the tax , Mr Investor could now buy back more of the funds that got hit with high CG's at a lower price. Thus now one …
Appears at this time our weekend paper won't be delivered as the price of gas is to high !
Maybe the printer should furnish EV's to get the job done.
Enjoy your 4/th , Derf
@MikeM & others. If you say your not going to reduce your equity allotment, have you been adding to positions as the market fell to keep one at their equity allotment ?
I started buying before , a small amount, to add to some position befor…
@TheShadow : Nice find. Time to check the bill again. Pay-back is a Bitch !
Thanks, Derf

Lowest sentiment since '58 ! Time to add some $$ to accounts I'm thinking. Where to put it is the net question. Commodities took a hit last week, but YTD a high riser I'm guessing ?
Think I'll see if I can find a good beaten-up MF (-20%) & ge…
@hank are they, Fido, privately own ? Well if that's the case try Schwab or Bl. Rock. Now I'm wondering how many brokerages are available via stock purchase ?
My question still remains from above post.

Yup, Bought 1 month CD @ 1% at Chuck's place. I'll wait for the next rate increase to see if I will buy another month or go longer.
Differ strokes for differ folks, Derf
@Sven ; Brother-in-law was a banker at that time, & tells of people bringing in CD's to pay the penalty to get the higher rate Cd's ! I hope that at least they weren't callable !
Last week I bought a 30 day CD that runs from 6/22 - 7/22. That brings me to ask, is that bank relying on rate increase this week to make money by taking my CD purchase money & investing it if & when CD rate goes up ?
I have more dry powde…
How many Dem's had their slush money invested in ESG just prior to shutting down the pipe line, shutting down oil leases for land. With Tesla down over 50% for one year hi-low, maybe it's time to dip ?! Well if this was the case , guess they're as h…
